What travelers are saying
- mamaminxMontreal, Canada751 contributionsDon’t have time to see this from inside but saw it luckily at sunset from outside. What a beautiful site along the Danube River. It’s so intricate. Very busy area along river and it’s very nice to stroll along and see the view across the river.Written January 15, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MousieTravels22 contributionsOne of my "bucket list" places to visit! Fisherman's Bastion is really a feast for the eyes. The photos are beautiful, and it is equally beautiful in person. The views are so calming and even though when I went there were a great number of fellow tourists, they were respectful and did not distract from the view or the architecture. It was picturesque, like out of a storybook.
St Matthias Church is right there and I absolutely had to check it out. WOW!! Well worth paying the tiny entry fee.Written January 17, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The outdoor pools are fantastic, especially in winter, but it gets very crowded. Some indoor areas feel outdated. The mineral smell is expected but might not be for everyone. Still, it’s a unique experience worth trying!Written January 16, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MousieTravels22 contributionsAbsolutely incredible. Stunning. A must see. The Basilica is worth every moment of your time. You would be best served to go into this church with a plan to spend at least 45 minutes to one hour admiring the design and architecture. Take your time. There is a lot to see. It is very peaceful and even when there's a lot of people inside, there is a serene quality. One need not be religious to appreciate the beauty and significance. Unfortunately, as my stay was only 24 hours, I did not have enough time to go into the tower, but when I return I plan to do so.Written January 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MrsWhitty74Uxbridge, UK121 contributionsStop with the selfies!!!!
It’s very poinant and thought provoking.
Ruined by people taking selfies & asking where did the people go ??? Why come to a place like this if you don’t know the history !Written January 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Lovely river cruise at night. Stunning scenery.Written January 3, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Laura RGuttenberg, NJ399 contributionsThe castle is under construction, but what is finished is beautiful. The rooms are so exquisite and ornate. It is worth the trip. The entire district is wonderful. There is a church, shops, museums. It is worth it to spend the day there.Written December 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- mamaminxMontreal, Canada751 contributionsI did not have a good time because it was SUPER BUSY AND PACKED. We were looking for food to eat and couldn’t find any others floor. Went upstairs finally found a few places but not many and it was so busy and back to back people, you couldn’t order food or eat. It’s not cheap either so I wouldn’t even bother.
Went back downstairs and got some strudel which was absolutely delicious-sour cherry, peach, cheese, and apple.
Also I very good place to shop for stuff and souvenirs.

Additionally, there is a tiny museum.Written January 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MousieTravels22 contributionsIt was an honor and privilege to be able to step inside this historically significant building. I can only hope that the next time I visit Budapest that I can catch a performance here. Just walking inside the main door, I was left in awe. I was informed that this building was made with all Hungarian materials, which was equally as exciting to learn. This building leaves you wanting MORE. Not in a way that it didn't provide, but wanting more as in not wanting to leave and just to keep admiring it. This should be on everyone's list to visit. Definitely make the time.Written January 16, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ernie HCardiff, UK2,301 contributionsA useful marker to know what part of the town / river that you are located. Looks at its beat in the evening when it is illuminated. Certainly lends itself well to the photographer.Written December 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ernie HCardiff, UK2,301 contributionsA calm within the hustle and bustle of the city. Spent many an hour walking around the island. Stopped for lunch, yes a Langos obviously! Plenty of things to see and unwind.Written December 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- GerafreiMexico City, Mexico173 contributionsThis is a Unique place, a hospital was built taking advantages of a cave system developed by water filtering Inside the mountain. It is very realistic featuring how life was at the hospital at the time of the Budapest Siege and the 1956 uprising. After that a nuclear shelter was built.
No photos are allowed, only way to visit is with a Guide so check out abedules. Only regret is that they go too fast and you don’t have time to fully apareciatte some of the exhibits.Written January 16, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The statues are beatiful and look like real and in action with characteristic hats and clothes. There are few minutes from here to the beatiful Vajdahunyad Castle. The castle is so beautiful and nice shape. It locates next to the pond within city park with some nice trees around. It reminds me the Bruges in Belgium. Going inside is a historic and nice architecture of some buildings. It is a very good place to check in and take photos or selfies. If you want to experience thermal bath, the well known Szechenyi Baths is just next to few minutes away.Written January 5, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrei RBucharest, Romania5 contributionsComing from an ex-communist country myself, I really appreciate the way it's been documented and displayed. The audio guide is really thorough.
Unfortunately many of the descriptions of items throughout the museum are in Hungarian only and it gets frustrating. That would be the only downside.
All in all if you're even remotely interested in history or want to understand how some humans can become monsters don't miss this place.Written January 10, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
